No tiene ética ni escrúpulos

Yo entre con visa de turista y fui con ella por que traía mi título de programadora de computadoras. Le pagué $3500 y después de meses solo me dijo que lo sentía pero ella puso los documentos en el correo el último día que yo tenía permiso con mi visa y así que aunque cumplía con todos los requisitos... para el cambio de estatus no podía por que ya no tenía estatus de turista. Aparte de eso no me quiso dar copia de mis documentos para ir con otro abogado, decía que si los quería le tenía que pagar $3500 más como que hubiera ganado el caso. Yo apenas iva llegando al país, no tenía dinero y pasaron años para que fuera con otro abogado y me dijera que solo la amenazara con acusarla con la Barra de Abogados por que eso era ilegal y en ese momento me dio copia de todo. Pero ya había pasado mucho tiempo y me quedé indocumentada con un título universitario en una gaveta. AGASEN UN FAVOR Y NO VAYAN CON ELLA. ES DE LO PEOR.

I would recommend to everyone

I have referred several people to Margaret Donnelly's firm. They work as a team on each case. I know of several cases that have been to other attorneys for help with immigration that were told they could not help, or had tried, but failed to get approval.  Margaret Donnelly, PC successfully got their... papers. She only does immigration, and has something like 40 years experience

Negligence

I hired this lawyer to work on my case, I was here illegally and I filed my petition through my U.S. born father. Every time I asked for updates, employees from this office would tell me there was nothing we could do but wait, so we waited. After my father passed, they told me my petition was dead an...d I had no other options. Now years later, I come to find out my petition was approved back in 2004. And even though I wasn't able obtain residency through my father the initial paperwork will be of use when I petition through my daughter. Margaret Donnelly's office did not inform me of this even after I repeatedly asked if there could be any other options for me in the future. This was negligence at its' finest and this attorney doesn't care for her client's well-being, she just wants as much money as she can get. Beware.

Referral Made Good

I had the occasion to use Margaret Donnelly for an employee of mine who needed help with a work visa in the U.S. My employee was a little nervous about the process which is often the case. The process went much smoother than both of us feared would be the case and was solved satisfactorily. Thank you... Margaret for helping with this important issue.
